Paschal Winery Now Back
Under Original Ownership
Business
WhenGrapevine
you walk
through the doors
of Paschal Winery, you almost feel like
you’ve discovered a piece of Tuscany here
in the Rogue Valley. The tasting room’s
cool tile floors, walls adorned with art,
and rounded windows with views of rolling
hills rowed with vineyards is the perfect
setting to get you in the mood to sample
their locally-made wine.
Roy and Jill Paschal established
Paschal Winery in 1998, and after a brief
change of ownership, once again are back
to share their love of wine with the Rogue
Valley. Roy was raised on a family cotton
farm in Arkansas. “He created a host of
entrepreneurial successes, and Paschal
Winery is a beloved project where he can
be in touch with his agricultural spirit
and love of the land,” said Tasting Room
manager Agnieszka Stachurska. “After the
success of the vineyard, the winery and
tasting room followed naturally on site.”
The tasting room, located at 1122
Suncrest Rd in Talent, is now open daily from 11am to
6pm, pouring seven to eight varietals of wine made from
locally-grown grapes. The vineyard site is planted with
pinot gris, viognier, pinot noir and merlot. “We are known
for our unconventional red blends,” Agnieszka said. “Our
goal is to offer a community space for musicians, local
artists and to support non-profit organizations in their
endeavors as well.”
Paschal hosts weekly music concerts, as well as a
Sunday Serenade Happy Hour from 4 to 6pm with live
music, no cover charge and discounted wines by the glass.
“For many years we have cultivated a close relationship

with the Siskiyou Jazz Institute and the Classical Guitar
Society, who bring acts to Paschal from all over the world,”
Agnieszka said. “We are also introducing Swing Dance
Events every 2nd Saturday of the month.”
Their warm and welcoming Tuscan-style tasting room is
also ideal for private events and weddings.
“We have had a wonderful welcome back,” Agnieszka
said. “We look forward to reconnecting with all of our
customers who love this place as much as we do!”
Paschal is located at 1122 Suncrest Rd in Talent. Please

I was born and raised in Medford, and graduated
from South Medford High School in 2004.
Having a passion to learn body and paint work, I
interned at a local body shop for one year while in
high school, and was then hired out of high school
doing bodywork at the shop. Then hired on with
Star Body Works in Talent. While there, I was helping in the paint shop mostly but going back and
forth from paint to body. I then transferred to the
Medford location working in the Detrim Department disassembling cars, and estimating. For the
last two years I transferred into the office being
a full time estimator. I have been employed with
Star Body Works for 5 years.
I met my high school sweet heart, Cassie Jennings, when I was 15 years old. After finishing up
high school we got married when I was 20. Since then we have three beautiful children, Rylee - 5
years old, Kyler - 4 years old and 2 year old Peyton.
We enjoy camping, fishing, and being a part of our local community enjoying our fun summer
time events.

Oh’s Osaka Japanese Cuisine
Friends and family of Mr. Oh,
owner of Oh’s Osaka, located at 123
S. Front Street in downtown Medford,
always knew how talented he was in
the kitchen. And luckily for Medford
residents, in 1995, after working in
a Japanese restaurant for over 15
year, Mr. Oh decided to open his own
restaurant.
Mr. Oh and his wife, Seong, moved
to the Rogue Valley from Seoul, South
Korea in 1981. Today the couple
operate the family restaurant in a
6000-square foot building with a
charming an exotic atmosphere. The
interior is equipped with a waterfall,
an aquarium and several teppanyaki
tables, which in essence are large iron
griddles at which the chef prepares
your meal table-side.
“Enjoy a spectacular show as
your own chef, with flashing knives,
slices and prepares an array of
sizzling steaks, seafood and poultry
before your eyes,” Seong explains.
“With
our
teppanyaki,
dinner
includes your choice of salad or miso
soup, vegetables and rice along with
one of our twenty exciting entrees—
each prepared, cooked, cut into bite
sized pieces and served before your
eyes at the teppanyaki tables by our
Osaka chef.”
In addition to the teppanyaki
dinners, Oh’s Osaka offers a variety of
sushi items such as Nigiri Sushi, Maki
Sushi, and a great selection of Hand
Rolls.
“Our experienced chefs will prepare
for you large portions of quality,
delicious food for you to share with all
family members,” Seong said.
Their full bar gives customers
plenty of choices from beers to wines
and mixed drinks. Their signature
drink, the Osaka Bomb—a 42-ounce
concoction with eight different spirits
and two types of juices—is big enough
to share between two people and is a
great way to start an evening.
Oh’s Osaka is located at 123 S. Front
Street in downtown Medford. Call 541282-2334 for more information.

Local Business Buzz:
Jackson County Physical Therapy
The Local Buzz is a monthly column
featuring locally owned businesses in
the Rogue Valley brought to you by
Thrive and the Buy Local – Buy Rogue
campaign. For more information about
the campaign and to find Jackson
County Physical Therapy (JCPT) and
other locally owned businesses, go to
www.BuyLocalRogue.org.
BLBR: What is your business and
how long have you been doing it?
Justin Carson: Jackson County
Physical Therapy provides outpatient
services in four clinics in Southern
Oregon (Medford, Ashland, Eagle
Point, Phoenix).
We first opened
in Medford and Ashland, over 17
years ago with six partners including
current partner Tim Palmesano, PT.
The other current partner, Justin
Carson, PT, joined in 2004. There are
now 16 physical therapists among the
four clinics, with specialties in treating
spine, shoulder, sports and work
injuries, post- operative rehabilitation,
motor vehicle accidents, TMJ, women’s
health, headaches, as well as offering
Pilates and more.
BLBR: What inspired you to get
into this line of work?
Justin Carson: Being able to treat
people without drugs or surgery makes
physical therapy special. Doing hands
on work, combined with teaching
what to do at home with self care,
education, and exercises is exciting
to us.
BLBR: What does local mean to
you?
Justin Carson: Local mean locally
owned and operated, independent,
not part of a franchise, corporation,
large health system, or national chain.
This sets JCPT apart.
BLBR: What do you do to Buy
Local – Buy Rogue?
We support other Buy Local — Buy
Rogue members, from vendors, to
supplies, to support services such as
printing and advertising.
BLBR: What are you doing to
move
towards
environmental
sustainability?
Justin Carson: We buy recycled
paper
products,
energy-efficient
appliances for our heating and cooling.
We have set up recycling systems
for our materials within the clinics
and diligently use programmable
thermostats, green cleaning products
and low energy lighting.
We are
currently looking into commercial
solar systems for our roofs. We have a
JCPT “Green Team” that reviews and
improves our procedures to further
sustainability.
BLBR: How does your business
give back to the community?
Justin Carson: JCPT team members
volunteer at many community events,
providing
education,
expertise,
consultations. We support many local
groups with donations/sponsorships.
We provide a certain amount of probono care. During our annual holiday
toy drive for “Lightly Loved Toys,” we
collected over 700 toys in 2011 and
over 500 in 2012.
BLBR: Tell us something about
your business that most people
don’t know.
Justin Carson:
Our treatment
model is hands-on. You will receive
one-on-one, 45 minute appointments
with your own physical therapist. No
aides or assistants are used. We also
have private treatment rooms. This
unique model of care sets us apart,
and helped us to be voted Oregon
Healthy Living readers’ Favorite
Physical Therapy Clinic each year, and
a Top 100 Company in Oregon (#4 in
2013 for Small Company Category).

Common
Sense
Gaming The System
by John Statler
A person with authority, money,
business skills and integrity would
first consider how to make the greater economy grow so that their profits
resulted in the community benefiting
from their organizational skills. Unfortunately, many such people with those
powers, particularly those lacking in
integrity, are much more inclined to
find ways to game the system.
Trading profits are up but small
business lending is down. Banks
seem to be primarily in the business
of trading stocks and have recently
been caught manipulating markets.
Once upon a time, they were in the
business of lending. Lending can be a
significant boost to the small and new
businesses that create jobs, but there
is easier profit from trading bizarre instruments created to manipulate markets and hide bad investments.
Finance as a whole is disconnected
from the real economy. The real economy creates wealth by adding value
to products and goods, while the current financial economy creates wealth
by manipulating prices and imaginary
stocks.
Very few of us like to be regulated.
Most of us would prefer that any laws
would only benefit and protect us,
while avoiding any restrictions on our
personal lives. And that would be fine,
except there are people in our communities who would enslave us to benefit
themselves, and they do not want regulations.
The power of today’s corporations
is immense. Corporations spend hundreds of millions of dollars to bypass
regulations intended to prevent abuse
of fair market practices.
According to a recent article by the
New York Times, banks like Morgan
Stanley and Goldman Sachs have been
caught hoarding and slowing the supply of raw materials. They have done it
with aluminum, driving up prices on
an international scale. It was purely a
profit-making scheme that resulted in
higher prices for businesses and consumers.
Some of the best minds on Wall
Street, in the banks, and running ma-
jor corporations are still spending the
majority of their creative time gaming
the system rather than building it up.
As long as they get huge bonuses even
if they bring corporations to failure,
they will continue to do this kind of
dishonest work.
We have to find a way to change the
mindset so corporations cannot avoid
regulations that protect our communities. We can create rules and laws that
create obstacles to corporations, but
as long as executives at the top gain
extraordinary wealth and personal
benefit when they are the cause of a
business collapsing, then we are at a
distinct disadvantage.
Perhaps they need to experience
deep public shame when their practices bring economic failure. Perhaps
they need to experience high public
recognition when their practices truly
build our communities. Whatever happens, it is time for change.
Our neighbors who are Democrats
or Republicans, who are liberals or
conservatives, and who support the
Tea Party or Occupy Wall Street …
none of them are the cause of our current economic problems. The corporate culture allows huge bonuses for
failure. Shame on them and praise to
those who build our communities.
John Statler is the owner of Computer Services Northwest, is a former
member of the Medford City Council,
and sits on several non-profit boards
and commissions in Jackson County.

Family Time
Reggio-Emilia Approach
to Learning
by Sunny Spicer
The Reggio Approach derives its
name from its place of origin, Reggio
Emilia, a city located in Emilia
Romagna in Northern Italy. Shortly
after World War II, in the midst of the
devastation brought by the war, Loris
Malaguzzi, a young teacher and the
founder of this unique system, joined
forces with the parents of this region to
provide childcare for young children.
Inspired by the need for women to
return to the workforce, this education
system has developed over the last 50
years into a unique program that has
caught the attention of early childhood
educators worldwide.
Emergent Curriculum
The Reggio Approach uses an
emergent curriculum -- building
upon the interests of the children.
The environment and provocations
are based upon the interests of the
classroom
community
(children,
families and teachers) and are
an intentional balance of childgenerated ideas and teacher guidance.
Through careful observation and
documentation, teachers are able to
present children with provocations and
then provide materials and purposeful
questions to help children continue
their investigations and explorations.
The Environment is the “Third
Teacher”
The schools in Reggio Emilia place
much emphasis on the aesthetics of
their environments and the materials
offered to children. The environment
plays an integral role in inviting the
children to ask questions and delve
into deeper study. Teachers are
very intentional about the materials
that they bring into the classroom
and they carefully organize spaces.
Documentation of the work of the
children and the reflections of
the teachers are displayed in the
classrooms and throughout the school
with the intention of making learning
visible.

DR. TAYLOR!
A Rockhound’s Dream Vacation
by Meesha Blair
Ask anyone to describe their dream
vacation, and you will hear a lot about
sandy beaches and umbrella drinks.
But not if you ask a rockhound...
Scott Blair recently had the
opportunity to participate in what
he, a lifetime rock enthusiast, would
dub a Dream Vacation: a seven day
rockhounding ramble through Eastern
Oregon. Scott joined up with friends
from WA state, meeting them at Glass
Buttes, 77 miles East of Bend, OR.
This area offers a variety of obsidian
types, including rainbow, gold and
silver-sheen, and Midnight Lace.
“We decided to check out the
Midnight Lace area, first,” Scott
explains, “A series of pits that
rockhounds have dug for years that
boast an obsidian with whimsical
patterns of black, alternating with
clear, flows of volcanic glass.”
The area is prolific! “There’s much
more obsidian than dirt there,” Scott
says, “So the practice becomes one of
picking only the nicest pieces - with
the sought after banding.”
The next day, Scott moved over to
the Aurora Borealis pit, to look for the
beautiful, multi-color-banded rainbow
obsidian. After clearing out about 6’ of
dirt that had backfilled into the pit, he
hit the jackpot, coming up with several
large boulders of the material, some
weighing as much as 30-40 pounds.
“Each time I thought I was done,
another boulder poked its nose out of
the dirt,” Scott recounts. “I sheared
off a chunk from one of the boulders,
and - sure enough - it was rich with
the lovely pastel colors of rainbow
obsidian... and even the small pieces
can have surprising color zones.”
Exhilarated from their success, the
group headed out to a well known
collecting site in the drainage of
Stinking Water Creek, near Juntura.
Here, they hunted white plume agate,
named for the distinctive feathery
patterns of bright white agate flowing
through darker agate matrix. And they
hit it lucky again! Scott’s uncanny
intuition for where to dig helped him
out:
“After only about 20 minutes out, for
some reason, I used my rock pick to
pull at one small piece of agate, among

the thousands of small pieces. It didn’t
move, and I realized I had something
big.” At first, he can’t tell how big. He
keeps digging. And digging.
“I get the rock out all the way, and
it’s pushing 100 pounds,” Scott says,
smiling. He describes it as “just ripped
with beautiful white plume.”
The group went on to hunt for pink
plume agate, Picture Jasper, petrified
wood, and Owyhee Jasper. Not every
day was a success; the group got
skunked a couple times. Yet they stick
with it.
“Half of rockhounding is figuring out
where things aren’t!” Scott laughs.
But they are lucky more than not,
and the weather (persistent rain for
the first four days) clears, too.
“A rockhound longs only for the
bright sky, the yielding earth, and the
clang of steel!” Scott declares. “Ok,
maybe a little Taco Bell thrown in,
too,” he admits.
What rockhound could ask for
more?

Stand Up Paddleboarding:
The world’s fastest growing water sport
finds its footing in the Rogue Valley
by Nathaniel Hayden
In a world dominated by sitting
down, motionlessly hooked to a screen
just two feet in front of you for hours
upon hours, you can easily see why
the opposite of that has become one
the fastest growing sports in the world:
Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP).
It’s not a difficult concept to grasp:
you are on a board … that you paddle
… while standing.
If you have been to any of the
area’s mountain lakes this summer,
you have no doubt seen handfuls of
cruising SUPers.
It’s become so popular that a group
of local business owners have joined
forces and organized the area’s first
annual “Paddlefest 2013” to take place
on August 24 at Howard Prairie Lake.
This free event will offer clinics, fun
races and games from 10am to 4pm
at the Resort on the beach next to the
marina.
What’s the big deal?
And just why is this sport becoming
so popular? According to Jamie
Bill, owner of North West SUP &
Surf Shop in Ashland who has been
SUPing since 2008, and a Paddle Fit
Certified instructor since 2010, it’s
in part because it reconnects us to
some ancient wisdom. “The Native
Americans used to stand in their
canoes to get extra leverage,” Jamie
explained. “We were meant to stand,
this is the way our bodies were
designed, that is why so many people
are finding the transition into the
sport to be very natural.”
Another reason Jamie pointed out
is because of its ease and versatility.
While more challenging than other
paddle sports such as kayaking or
canoeing, a beginner can feel at ease
on an SUP in just a short afternoon
on a calm lake. And it’s just plain fun.
“People have a natural attraction
to the water as a place for fun and
relaxation,” Jamie said. “SUP is a great
way for anyone to have access to that
on a daily basis, no matter where they
are. SUP can basically be whatever
you want it to be: a quiet relaxing
paddle at sunset, a family adventure,
an epic surf session (in the ocean), or
an extremely challenging white water
run (on a river).”
Yes, you read that correctly. The
more adventurous SUPers have taken
the sport to floating white water rivers
such as the Rogue.
That is the versatility of SUPing
that Jamie mentioned—these boards
can appeal to a family looking for a
leisurely outdoor activity, all the way
to the adrenaline junkies at the other
end of the spectrum.
Jamie grew up chasing hurricane
waves on a surfboard in New England.
“When SUP came onto the scene, I
was looking for something to keep me
in top physical condition and get me
out on the water during the rest of the
year when the swells are infrequent,”
Jamie said. “As I became acquainted
with the sport, the versatility of being
able to surf, race, and run whitewater
quickly captivated my attention.”
“The Hollow Woodie”
For Randy Bogardus, Rogue Valley
resident and owner and creator of
Clearwood Paddleboards, his passion
for SUPs began in 2007 in New
Zealand. “I was surfing Shipwreck
Bay (‘shippies’) and saw an SUP out
catching tons of waves,” Randy said.
“At the time I was surf kayaking
and bodyboarding due to a bad
shoulder. So when I saw the SUP
I thought it would be a way to ride
‘standup’ even with my bum shoulder.
After I got home from the trip it took
me about a year to actually dive into
SUPing.”
According to Randy, SUP has grown
in popularity for several reasons: “The
gear is simple and easy to handle on
and off the water, a board and a paddle
are all that is needed for a fun outing,
and the cost to buy into the activity

is, relative to many other water sports,
very reasonable in cost. One also has
a great vantage point to look down into
the water! SUP is just a really fun way
to get on the water.” After his New Zealand trip, Randy
decided to build himself a hollow wood
SUP. “I built the first ‘hollow woodie’
in 2009, and have built seven boards
since that time,” Randy explained. He
now runs Clearwood Paddleboards out
of his shop in the Applegate. “Hollow
wood boards have become a niche
for ‘garage’ builders, mostly of surf
style boards, over the course of the
last ten years or so, but no one to my
knowledge had designed a hollow wood
racing style board in decades.” Randy’s knowledge of wood boat
building and his interest in surfing led
him to the idea of designing boards for
other folks who share his passion for
SUPs and enjoy building things. “With
the help of several friends that
understand the digital world better
than I, we have created cnc cut out
framing kits for our surf style SUP and
flatwater boards that can be built in
half of a two car garage.” They machine
the parts here in the Rogue Valley and
can mail them almost anywhere in the
world. They have been selling these
kits through a third party website and
are nearly ready to roll out their own
e-commerce website.
SUP Culture Showcased at Paddlefest
2013
“The basic idea behind Paddlefest is
a chance for the paddling community
to come together on the same lake on
the same day,” explained Scott Keith,
owner of Northwest Outdoor Store in
Medford. “Kayakers, canoes and SUP’s
all are invited. For over 15 years I have
been selling kayaks and SUPs and
always thought it would be fun to have
a social gathering of the many paddlers
in the region. A chance to socialize and
network with other like-minded folk
and a chance to meet other paddlers
in a common setting.”
Paddlefest promoter and co-creator
Susan Huntley agrees. “I really enjoy
organizing events that bring people
together who wouldn’t normally run
into each other,” Susan said. “If you
are not a ‘club’ person, you find people
with common interests by just getting
out there. These connections can turn
into lifelong relationships that revolve
around nature and the outdoors.”
At the event there will be free demo
kayaks and SUP’s for people to try out,
as well as a Paddling Skills Clinic with
Randy and Jamie.
“If someone has an interest in
paddle sports they can get a really
great look at most of the available
options for getting on the water in a
human powered craft,” Randy said. The focus for the technique clinics/
demonstrations will be to introduce
novice paddlers to the proper SUP
stroke technique. They will break
the stroke down into its basic
components and provide some on the
water coaching. “What I have found in
teaching others to paddle SUPs is that
it is important to get started correctly
so that a paddler doesn’t have to break
bad habit to progress,” Randy said.
Jamie plans to educate folks
about the culture of SUP, the boards
themselves and why they are shaped as
they are. They will also cover turning
and some more advanced balance
drills and paddling techniques.
At the event there will also be kayak
fishing clinics (please call Northwest
Outdoor store to sign up), kid games,
a paddling Poker Run, and races.
Also on hand will be members of the
US Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 59
from Grants Pass, who will be giving
out information geared specifically
to paddle craft, including laws
concerning life vests and regulations
regarding their use in or on paddle
craft. “My hope is as many people as
possible who already own kayaks or
canoes or SUP’s can attend,” Scott
said. “And from this gathering many
connections will be made and the
paddling community will grow.”
“People are so stuck inside these
days and way too plugged into
technology,” Susan said. “We need to
as a community encourage and inspire
people to get out there.”
Paddlefest 2013 will take place
August 24 from 10am to 4pm at the
Howard Prairie Lake Resort. Camping
is available through Jackson County
Parks. Call 541-774-8183.
